I can honestly say that your video is hands down the best that I've seen of all the videos on adjusting and indexing rear derailleurs. All this time I've been looking for this one video on rear derailleurs that explains everything in a clear manner and with the right camera angles and I can tell you now this is the only video on this subject that I'll be coming back to every time I need to service my bikes. Well done and thank you sir.

    I have watch several ok videos on derailleur adjustment but they there were incomplete and fully useful. This video is much better than all that I have seen so far by a lot. The colored cogs and limiter info very good. The section that helped me a lot was taking off the cable and moving the derailleur by hand. That made understand more so I could isolate my issue. Thank you.

    This proves again that just because you know what you are doing, you arent necessarily good at communicating that knowledge. I've tried fixing my gearbox thingy for the past 2 days and every "explainer" video I watched somehow made it worse and left me more insecure about what to do or how to do it. this was the first and only video in the astonishing sea of videos on this topic that left me fully informed and finally able to fix my bike. Thanks.
    The closeup shots and graphical elements where especially useful to me in finally understanding what each screw does and how to adjust them properly.
